“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. And I’m asking you sir, at the top of my lungs- what’s that thing you’ve made out of my truffula tuft!”

One of our lovely Upper Elementary students completed a fun summer project to display in our Art Garden. What a wonderful addition!

By changing our food system, we can change the world. #EatRealFood.

The staff has been busy getting ready for the students to arrive! We wanted to say thank you to Misty Shipley and Debbie Mattox @first.federal for bringing us breakfast this morning!

We can’t wait for the first day of school this week!!!

LMS has received our first Green Steps award! Our projects were creating rain barrels to conserve water, vermicomposting with Upper Elementary, and Ms. Francy’s shoe drive with high school for her trip to Costa Rica. Thank you to all who made it happen with big shout outs to Annie Boyd and Natasha Ormsby for making it happen.🌱🪱💧🌎

A note from the Board:
Dear LMS Community,

After a comprehensive, nationwide search that began in May, we are pleased to share that the Board of Directors has unanimously selected Sarah Fox as our new Director. Sarah has been an integral part of our school as the Assistant Director, and her deep experience, compassionate approach, and unwavering commitment to our students and families have made her a beloved member of our community. Sarah’s leadership qualities, combined with her understanding of our school’s mission—to provide an authentic Montessori education that builds a foundation for lifelong learning—make her the ideal person to lead Lowcountry Montessori into the future. She truly embodies the spirit of our motto through her dedication to nurturing curiosity, independence, and a love of learning in every child. We are confident that her vision and passion will continue to uphold the excellence and warmth that define our school. Please join us in congratulating Sarah on her new role. We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to working together with her to strengthen our community and enrich our students’ educational experiences.

Warm regards,
Greg Alexander
Chair, Board of Directors
Lowcountry Montessori School

A note from Amy Horn:
To the LMS Community,
It is with a full heart & deep gratitude that I share how excited I am to pass the torch of leadership to Sarah Fox. Sarah has been a vital part of shaping the Lowcountry Montessori School community over the years. She leads with strength, compassion, and a deep commitment to the values that have guided us from the very beginning. Her passion for Montessori education, her unwavering dedication to our children, and her collaborative spirit make her the ideal person to carry this work forward. I have no doubt that under her leadership, the school will continue to flourish—always keeping the students at the heart of every decision.
As I step away from my role, I do so with peace and confidence, knowing that LMS is in capable and caring hands. The future is bright, and I am truly grateful to have been a part of this journey with all of you.

With love and appreciation,
Amy Horn

Students in woodworking class show off their creations at the end of the year last year. This is a super cool creative bunch of students! We cannot wait to see what they create this coming year.

Our garden team works hard to create a wildlife oasis and yet the Carolina wrens still choose the lockers. 🙄

Our campus is filled with bird activity! From Red-Shouldered Hawks and Mississippi Kites, to Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds and Carolina Chickadees, the birds have taken over!

We are super excited to introduce The Salty Sprout Cafe! Even more exciting is that Ms. Julia will be taking the lead with the food program. She makes the yummiest things! Thank you Ms. Martha, Ms. Natasha, Chloe, Thomas, Oliver, and anyone else who helped make this happen. Here’s to real, healthy, good tasting food!

Some cute moments from field day for Primary.

Today, we said goodbye to a special member of our LMS family, Bodhi.

He spent his days quietly watching over our students and staff, offering comfort without words, and reminding us of the power of gentle presence. Bodhi had a rare gift of knowing just who needed him and showing up with love, patience, and a wagging tail. All over campus and in every classroom he curled up in, Bodhi brought calm, joy, and a sense of peace that will never be forgotten.

To the Rentz family: thank you for sharing him with us. He was so deeply loved here, and he always will be.

Rest easy, sweet Bodhi. You were one of a kind.

Happy Summer! 🌞

🫐 First blueberry harvest of the season here at LMS! 🫐

To all our families, staff, and former students who have served our country, we thank and honor you.

Some amazing moments from our annual talent show! LMS has some show stoppers! Cannot wait to see what they do next year.

Ms. Linda Peters gave our primary students a fun presentation about honey bees! She focused on the roles that each bee played within the beehive, as well as the importance of bees in our ecosystem. A lucky few got to try on a beekeepers uniform!

LMS Graduation Ceremony May 17, 2025 at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park #loggerheadsgraduating #adventuresinloggerheadlife

Today Ms. Kelly Smith and Mama Jen (as the kids loving call her) took our students to Heroes on Horseback. They got a chance to do some arts & crafts, groom the horses, learn about the different tools being used to care for the horses, and even got the chance to ride. It was so much fun! #loggerheadslearning #adventuresoftheloggerheads

Tattoo your teacher was a big hit and a lot of fun!❤️

At LMS, Senior Projects are a chance for seniors to dive deep into their passions and present those projects in a truly meaningful way to our community.

As a part of the Senior Project presentations, we’re thrilled to invite you to a special event: Natalia Langley’s Mini Recital on Tuesday, May 13th at 4:00 PM in the High School building.

As part of her Senior Project, Natalia has curated and prepared a beautiful vocal performance that highlights her growth as a musician and her love for the arts. From rehearsals to research, she’s poured her heart into this and now she’s ready to share it with YOU!

Come support one of our incredible seniors and experience the creativity, courage, and talent that make Montessori education so unique. (The attached video is Natalia singing during a high school community meeting.)

Come join the festivities at LMS. Spring Fling has begun!

Join us today to celebrate spring. Bring the family and have some fun! All welcome.

Oh the Edisto……HS canoes and camps on the bank. Great memories are made.

The staff and students in the Learning Center painting that beautiful rain barrel 💜

At the beginning of the year, @cocacolaconsolidated donated over 20 used syrup barrels and conversion kits to repurpose them as rain barrels. Several students, staff, and parents have volunteered to decorate the rain barrels before we install them throughout the gardens.

Interested in owning an LMS designed rain barrel? This one will be up for auction during the Spring Fling!

See you there. 🌻

Day 1 of our Spring Field Trips — and we’re just getting started!
One group is kayaking down the Edisto River (camping out tonight — photos coming soon!), another spent the day playing putt-putt in Hilton Head, and another crew is off exploring Greenville for the week!
Tomorrow morning, our last group hits the road for Edisto Beach.
Can’t wait to share more!
